Blood donations desperately needed
PLYMOUTH — The American Red Cross has issued an emergency request for platelet and blood donors of all blood types because many fewer donations than expected were received in June and the first week of July.
The Red Cross urgently needs donations to ensure an adequate blood supply is available for patients all summer long.
Eligible donors with types O negative, B negative and A negative blood are especially encouraged to give.
Type O negative is the universal blood type and can be transfused to anyone who needs blood.
Types A negative and B negative can be transfused to Rh positive or negative patients.
There is also an urgent need for platelet donations.
Platelets – a key clotting component of blood often needed by cancer patients – must be transfused within five days of donation, so it’s important to have a steady supply of platelets on hand.
There will be two blood drives soon:
Thursday, July 18, from 11:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus in the Hall, 901 E. Jefferson St., Plymouth.
Saturday, July 27, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at Walmart, 2505 N. Oak Road, Plymouth.
